Health promotion is a method to increase awareness of healthy behavior in public. Unhealthy lifestyles cause increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Community health nurses have a responsibility to increase the motivation of healthy practice with the health promotion’s method. This research method used a systematic review, using online databases on Cambridge Core, Wiley Online, and Science Direct e-resources when the articles published from 2006-2018. The selection of literature used the Critical Capability Program (CASP) tool and got eight relevant articles. The systematic analysis used the Cochrane Collaboration. The themes of this article are 1) nurses’ knowledge about health promotion, 2) the meaning of health promotion, and 3) the implementation health promotion of cardiovascular disease prevention by nurses. The themes identified some categories, such as nurse responsibilities, the essence of health promotion, support and barriers, and health promotion’s method. The nurse’s perception of health promotion is the core of their work to decrease the prevalence of the cardiovascular disease. Keywords: cardiovascular disease, health promotion, nurses, primary health care

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze care strategies for breast cancer screening in Primary Health Care in Brazil. Methods: this is a systematic review following the Cochrane Collaboration recommendations. Results: among 355 manuscripts, five were eligible. The patient navigation program by Community Health Agent stood out with the best result, among the strategies: flexibility of goals considering viability; community engagement; team training; active search of the target population by Community Health Agent; request for mammography by physicians; actions integrated to women’s health; monitoring of mammography results, absent users, and population coverage by physician and nurse; and assessment of criteria for requesting screening mammography by means of an information system. The population coverage rate in the program ranged from 23% to 88%. Conclusions: Primary Health Care in Brazil presents devices with potential to induce the production of care for breast cancer screening.


Primary Health Care (PHC) is a great differential in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, as its effectiveness contributes to reducing the worsening of health problems and, consequently, in the patient's hospitalization. Based on this interrelationship, evidence from databases that correlated the reception performed in the PHC with the prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) was incorporated. In the light of the chosen articles, not only the consequences of deficiencies in PHC were expressed, but also the satisfactory outcomes that occur when its dynamics are well structured and efficient, concomitantly built on principles involving disease prevention and health promotion, which they draw in expressive results such as lower rates of preventable deaths, as well as the decrease in the number of hospitalizations due to Heart Failure and Stroke.

Purpose: Primary health care reform presents new opportunities for registered dietitians (RDs) to contribute to health promotion and disease prevention in family practices. Since this is an emerging area of RD practice, a health promotion specialist was contracted to conduct a needs assessment and develop a plan for implementing nutrition-focused healthy lifestyle activities. Methods: The needs assessment was conducted as part of an Ontario-based demonstration project in three Family Health Networks (FHNs). Results: The needs assessment revealed a lack of agreement about what types of activities should be undertaken, a lack of information on the population's needs, a lack of coordination with other agencies in the community, and barriers of time and resources. The health promotion specialist recommended that health care team members in each FHN develop a shared understanding of their goals, and undertake the entire planning and evaluation cycle. Specific strategies were suggested to increase awareness, to provide health education, and to improve environmental support. Conclusions: A significant need exists for conceptual development, planning, testing, and evaluation of disease prevention and health promotion in family physician-based primary health care organizations. The findings may be useful to others interested in increasing the focus on health promotion and disease prevention in such practices.
